"A distinguished four bedroom period home standing proud on one of the most desirable residential areas that Norwich has to offer."
The Property
Standing proud on one of the finest residential roads Norwich has to offer, this period home is a masterpiece showcasing the very best of an illustrious era of architecture in our fine city. Elegant proportions and a wealth of original features have been lovingly restored, while an inspired rear extension introduces cutting-edge modernity that sits effortlessly alongside timeless tradition.
Upon entering, one is immediately greeted by the prototypical brace of bay-fronted formal receptions, positioned either side of the wide and welcoming reception hall. Boasting generous proportions, high ceilings, and abundant natural light, these receptions lend themselves to a variety of uses, currently serving as a drawing room and studio.
The rear of the home is where the real surprise awaits – an extraordinary, vaulted extension has been masterfully woven around the existing structure, providing a striking juxtaposition in which a modern and bustling family can thrive.
The open-plan kitchen, dining room, and additional seating area are awash with natural light thanks to a wealth of skylights and a vast bespoke set of double doors and windows. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, ideal for entertaining, while the seating area has been cleverly positioned around the corner to create a defined space around the wood-burner yet still interact with the main room. A large utility room handles the practicalities, complemented by a stylish ground-floor shower room.
The first-floor houses four bedrooms, each boasting its own distinctive character. The generous main bedroom showcases the very best of the period architecture, with high ceilings, sash windows, and original stripped floorboards. The three further bedrooms each feature elements such as built-in wardrobes and picturesque garden views, all well-served by the luxurious new family bathroom.
Externally
Outside, the home’s setback from the road provides ample parking at the front, in addition to an expansive covered side return offering secure storage behind gated access.
The rear garden provides a private sanctuary, remarkably quiet given the proximity to the city centre and the lively Unthank and Earlham Roads. A sprawling terrace creates an idyllic sun trap, while the purpose-built garden studio is an impressive and highly versatile space in which to while away the hours.

Description
Local Information
Norwich, an ancient city steeped in a millennium of history, has long been a haven for writers, radicals, and independent thinkers, fostering a rich culture and creative spirit. Its meticulously preserved medieval streets host a thriving community of small businesses, a dynamic culinary scene, and a vibrant arts culture. As a gateway to a county renowned for its pristine landscapes, expansive skies, and untouched vistas, Norwich continues to inspire.
Named one of the best places to live in 2021, Norwich sits approximately 20 miles from the coast where the River Yare and the River Wensum converge, the latter meandering through its heart. Once the second largest city in England during the 11th century, Norwich proudly retains its title as the UK’s most complete medieval city. Historic paths like Elm Hill beckon with Tudor architecture and quaint cafés leading to the majestic Norwich Cathedral, a testament to its thousand-year legacy.
West of the city, the University of East Anglia stands as a striking example of brutalist architecture, housing the Sainsbury Centre for modern and ethnographic art. Norwich’s property landscape offers diversity, from Victorian city-centre dwellings and converted mills to town houses and contemporary luxury homes. The “Golden Triangle” is cherished among families, while nearby rural villages like Stoke Holy Cross, Surlingham, and Bawburgh offer larger estates and idyllic countryside living.
With direct trains to London’s Liverpool Street in just 90 minutes and an airport connecting to UK cities and Amsterdam, Norwich blends historical charm with modern connectivity—a city that captivates and welcomes all who embrace its allure.
